Right now in Humants #3:Page 2 is a great splash page Freazie did of Chaosta immediately after her empowerment through Khosmotic Renewal by Omnispawn.

This is another page I inked on our convention tour in the summer of 1991. I actually started it at Freazies house. Since we live several states apart, I had made the long drive up to Michigan and had the privilege of living with Freazie and his wife, Angela and the kids for about 6 weeks while we trekked all over the Northeastern States to one convention after another. We had some good times then! We did a lot of art, a lot of plotting and logged a lot of miles on my ol’ beat up ’85 Chevy Cavalier! 🙂

And over in Project New Man # 3: When things look like they are darkest, that’s often when something happens to turn the tide. He’s heard that kind of thing all his life. At one time David “Killer” Kane would have mocked the chances of miraculous last minute saves. More likely, he would have acknowledged, if anything could go wrong it would! His Special Forces training in ‘Nam, allowed him to only trust in his own abilities and training, never on any one else and certainly not in anything remotely resembling hope or faith. But that was before David “Killer” Kane was transformed into New Man. Since that time he has lived in a state of amazing events he would never imagined in his wildest dreams!

Okay, I know I said today, but it’s really tomorrow we’ll find out some more revelations concerning Cyber-Tech and his origin which will show he has strong ties to… but that’s for tomorrow’s update. For real this time! Really. Sorry I jumped the gun yesterday. 🙁

Did you notice the new Mighty Mega Checklist feature in the left sidebar? It’s a handy guide to all the issues we have posted so far on MCG! We’ll update our checklist every time we add a title so you will have those handy to go right to an issue you missed, or to go back to a page to refresh your memory on a current plot twist, or… GULP!.. to check up on how well we have done on our continuity! If you are a new reader, well then! You are all set, web wayfarer! Just click on the cover or title link to go to our first book and get caught up! We have them in order from our first postings, at the bottom of the list, to the current comic updating daily, at the top of the list. But that’s not all. Yep, you guessed it, there’s more! We’ll be adding a lot of New Features in the next month to help you navigate our pages easier! Stay tuned.

No MCG, Project: New Man, or Humants updates this weekend. We’ve got some maintenance to do on the sites. Next week: we’ll wrap up Project: New Man #3 and get ready to start the conclusion to The Haunted Man in Project: New Man #4!

Project New Man # 3: So the battle between New Man and the Thunder Hawks with Cyber-Tech is over, and the mad cyborg is subdued thanks to the inventiveness of Emmanual Reyes, a.k.a. Bearcat, and Thomas “Tom Thumb” McBride, along with the resourcefulness of Jonathan Thunderstorm.

Ah, but that’s not the end of the story. Now we have learned some interesting clues to where the tech for the cyborg came from. It’s a link that will eventually have the paths of New Man and the Thunder Hawks cross with that of Omnispawn and the Humants! Check out today’s update to see what I’m talking about.

Humants #3:We met Janeta Rosebud last issue and right off the bat I’m sure you saw the same thing I did. She’s a bit of a rebel! But having met her Dad and sister last issue as well, it’s not hard to see why. Nothing is harder on the rebel than having a strong father who really cares for her, albeit with some selfish motives of his own, and tries to shelter her. In turn the father’s attitude just fuels her ambition to get out on her own and prove herself, to be as strong, as independent and in short to be just like the authority she’s rebelling against! Talk about a paradox!

So, okay, here we have little happy, go, lucky Janeta, the rebel, wanting desperately to have the power to stand up and prove herself, and suddenly, un-expectantly she has more than she ever dreamed possible! Whew! Hang on, folks, this could be a wild ride!

Welcome back! Glad you could join us again! Let’s see what’s happening in today’s comics updates!

Project New Man # 3:

Today’s page is the last of this chapter of The Haunted Man. Dave and the Thunder Hawks ponder Cyber-Tech’s links to Ebeneezer Baal and Devlin Robotics. It’s beginning to look like there is much more to this than New Man just tracking a clever crime lord.

We have a couple special pages and the back covers coming up then next week on to Project: New Man #4!

Humants #3:

Janeta Rosebud muses over the transformation she has experienced as she searches for the other Humants, who she has been told by Omnispawn to join up with.

In her efforts she is distracted and not being used to having super powers…well, hurry on over and check it out to see what happens to our newest Humant.

Well, we did not get as much done over the weekend as we had hoped. There were some things which came up that were not in the plan. So we adjust and move on. Hope yours went easier! But it’s a new week and so we begin again!

We may have to take off another weekend or 2 to get caught up. MCG usually updates 7 days a week, even though most other web comics only update 5 or 6 days every week. There is a lot of work in the background to maintain the sites and keep the new pages coming out regularly. We would like your comments on the frequency of the strip. Is 7 days a week just right, too much or GULP!…not enough? Let us know. You can leave a comment on this article or go to the Left Sidebar down to the Mega Comics Group Wall and leave a comment. If you had prefer to send us an email click on the MCG Contact link at the top of this page and use the form located on that page. We appreciate your support and look forward to hearing from you!

Welcome back again! Always good to have you with us! Time for Tuesday’s Legacy ComicsUpdates! Ready? Okay. Let’s go! 😉

Project New Man # 3:

Here’s a single page adventure Nathan Massengill did for us back in the day. I showed a smaller version of this in on eof the earlier MCG Blogs. I don’t know what inspired it, but I’ve always liked this page showing our hero in a liesure setting. After what he just went through with Cyber-Tech that’s a big switch, and since I know what he’s about to go through it’s a small reprieve, to say the least. So let’s enjoy it while we can!

Of course this is not part of The Haunted Man story line but we had a couple extra slots to fill on this issue and I wanted you to see the larger size version of this page.

We have a special page for Christopher Torres pencils on slate for tomorrow, so don’t go away, it’s sure to be a nice treat as well! Then I’ll show you the inside back cover with a peek at next issue’s cover, also by Mr. Torres, and then the colorful back cover by our own Allan Lewis. Next Monday we’ll begin Project: New Man #4. I can hardly wait! 🙂

Humants #3:

Ah, now let us leave our newest Humant, Chaosta, and check in on those she searches so diligently for. We find them in a Renovated Warehouse which Magistar had managed to rent after pooling the three Khosmotic Warriors’ resources. They discussed doing this in Humants # 2. Remember?

Freazie did some nice one-on-one shots of Man Ark sparring with Sojourner here and we get a nice little bit of exposition on Sojourner’s origin. Now we know the reason for his name. I think Freazie did some nice dialogue here as well as some great pencils!

I think this is mostly Ralph’s and Christopher’ inks with a little background from me on 1 or 2 panels.

Over on the PNM and Humant’sHome Pages you will find an expanded version of the Mighty Mega Comics Group Checklist posted under the comics page. This can’t be seen if you only click on the images above, that action takes you to today’s post. But once there if you click on the Home Page Button in the Menu above the comic you will see what I’m talking about. This Checklist along with the Sidebar Checklist will help new and regular readers navigate to the comics linked in our sites a lot easier. So if this is your first time, those Checklist links will help you catch up. If you’re an old timer, the Checklists will help you go back to your favorite pages to re-read our heroes exploits. Enjoy!

2018 is here! And here we are half way through January! Belated Happy New Year! We hope everyone got a few days off for the holidays the latter part of December and first of this month. The powers that be even gave ye ol’ Mega Minions, maintainers of all things digitally Mega, a little time to relax. Now, it’s back to the ol’ grind!

MegaComicsGroup.com tuns 10 years old in 2018! Yep! This year is MCG Blog’s 10th anniversary! It was actually June of 2008 when we went live with our blog page which was followed first with the Project: NewMan and Humants pages. We have since added the Mega Tales pages. There was a couple years involved in the actual building of this group of web sites. The original goal was to post all our comics projects from the 90’s Legacy Comics independent comics venture. There was a lot of unpublished art and stories from the days of the Independent Comics Boom/Bust era of the late ’80’s and early ’90’s. In addition we had a few other projects which for one reason or another never got published. One was the Tess story of Mega Tales #1, but there is still more to come. There are a few art pages but mostly a lot of plots and scripts that were not finished. We hope to get around to all of it. In the meantime we’ve been revising what we have posted here on the MCG web sites. Case in point…

Project: NewMan # 3 – The Dream Sequence. It is officially chapter 4 of The Haunted Man saga which began in Project NewMan #2 and ran through issue # 4. It started with a page designed, drawn, inked and scripted beautifully by comics professional Nathan Masengill. 3 pages were added with the first page to round out a whole chapter. Mark Poe, our fearless leader, doesn’t remember if Nathan did more than one dream page or if the others were done and lost. That’s understandable since the segment was plotted nearly 25 years ago! Since then, Mark added some of his own art, mimicking Nathan’s style as best he could and using a few production tricks utilizing parts of Nathan’s art on the different pages as well. See how sharp eyed an art enthusiast you are at spotting these creative manipulations. We think he did a great job, especially with the latest revisions. Mark had always intended to revise those three pages sometime and make it better. Finally, that day came.

Archives Spotlight

We Have Not Done This In A While Department: Archive’s Spotlight was designed to look at all which has come before and adding new comments as well. This posting we are previewing Project: New Man #3 pages 1-4!

______________________________

Project: New Man #3 – Page 2 – Originally this was a 2 panel page. Mark never felt satisfied with the job he did a very hectic time in his work schedule. So since he has been prepping these books for printing with Ka-Blam Comic Book Printing and digital sales at IndyPlanet as well as DriveThru Comics, he did what he had promised and revised pages 2, 3 & 4 of chapter 4 of the Haunted Man storyline.

Mark’s Remarks:I like this page better… I hope you do as well. The original 2 panels and skimpy scripting was just not enough. It was done during the Autumn of 2010, if memory serves me. That time of year is always the busiest part of my work schedule each year. I had way too much on my plate so I did not do as well as I would have liked. I’ve added some panels and some more script too, hopefully, to clarify and add to the overall storyline, as well as weight to the chapter itself. I’ve done this on other pages as well but mainly in PNM #3 and 4. In issues 1 & 2 I’ve not done much more than cosmetic production changes. Issues 3 & 4 were put together for web comics publication with material from the early ’90’s but also some new art and script. Issue 4 was plotted but never written or completely drawn out. After it’s web comics debut in 2008-2011, I realized Freazie and I had gotten away from our original concept somewhat. There were some contradictions with scripting and some art which needed to be corrected. There are still some areas in need of revisions which I plan to make before we go to press with the rest of our 25 year Anniversary Re-Issues. So keep watching! More on all that later. Onward!
